Big Shot Little Jiaojiao Breaks Her Persona Again

Chapter 514: Is the Developer of This Apartment Stupid?

The lobby was dark.
The sensor lights in the corridor suddenly lit up at the sound of their footsteps.
The faint lights flickered, causing one to instinctively feel fear.

The apartment building was dilapidated, with broken dishes and glass debris scattered on the ground.
Thick dust covered every corner where there were four rooms on each floor.
Chi Jiao walked up the stairs.
The more she walked, the more she felt that the magnetic field of the apartment was very unstable.

The instability could easily affect the people living here, especially those who faced setbacks in life and had fragile minds.
They would be easily influenced to do crazy things under the magnetic field’s influence.

The magnetic field here was not stable, and when the developer designed the building, they situated the entire building right at the core of the magnetic field.
Naturally, this became a haunted place.

The more Beitang Lie walked up the stairs, the more he wished to stick closer to Chi Jiao.

Finally, they reached the fourth floor under the dim light.

For auspicious reasons, many apartments would automatically skip floors with unlucky numbers like the fourth, seventh, or thirteenth floors.
White Birch Apartments was no exception.
Although they had reached the fourth floor, it was labeled as the fifth floor.
The third floor skipped straight to the fifth floor, bypassing the fourth.

“Is the developer of this apartment stupid? They avoided the unlucky number four when naming the floors but still gave the number 514 to the apartment.” Beitang Lie was speechless.

The homophone for 514 sounded like “I want to die” in Mandarin.
Beitang Lie wondered if the developer’s brain was fried.

The two of them arrived at the door of apartment 514.

Standing at the door, Chi Jiao stopped in her tracks.

“Boss, what’s wrong?” Beitang Lie asked nervously.

“The door of this room is not locked.” After Chi Jiao said that, she gripped the door handle tightly and pushed the door open easily.

With a creak, the ajar door was easily pushed open by her.

Warm light shone through the open door.

There was someone in this house?

Chi Jiao and Beitang Lie’s expressions darkened.
They quickly pushed open the door and braced themselves.

However, when the two of them entered, they were surprised to find that the light in the room was not from the large lamp in the living room, but from several glass cases.

The huge hall was filled with glass cases of all sizes.
These cases were filled with all kinds of strange pets, such as fist-sized hairy-legged spiders, emerald green lizards, centipedes, a dried-up white rat, and a few terrifying but non-venomous pythons.

At the sight of living humans, those cold-blooded animals who had been starving for ages became excited.
They charged crazily at the glass walls as if wanting to rush out and eat them.

Chi Jiao didn’t sense any living person’s aura here.
It was clear that there was no one else in the room other than them.

There were also a few broken glass cabinets on the ground.
The items inside were scattered all over the ground, but the animals inside were gone.
They must have escaped.

“After the owner of this house died, why didn’t the rest of his family take care of these pets?” Beitang Lie frowned, looking confused.

Although he didn’t like these kinds of “unique” pets, they were still living creatures, after all.
They should have taken them away and raised them properly, not locked them up here and starved them to death.
